At a sake bar in Tokyo.
One of the sake available for an extra charge.
This is from the 2018 hanpukai, so it is likely to have become smoother over time than it was when it was distributed.
The taste is sweet and the mouthfeel is very smooth and refreshing. It has almost no acidity, which is a characteristic of Niimasa, to the point where you would think it was a kijoshu. It is not labeled as a "kijoshu," but rather a "kijoshu" sake.
It was not labeled as a kijoshu, and I could not understand why it was called kijo junmai-shu.
I will ask the waiter next time I see it.
